Global Call for Action to Defeat Free Trade and Investment Treaties

Civil society organisations from across the world are calling for a Global Day of Action on 18 April 2015 to stop free trade and investment deals and promote an economy that works for people and the planet.

In cooperation with Axel Troost and Transform Europe!

The European left is yet lacking a common position to oppose the economic policies of the Troika. To find - even the lowest - common denominator of the different approaches and experiences of European member states and left parties, we will need targeted and concerted common efforts.

When the first edition of this booklet was published in spring 2014, few people could have predicted that TTIP would soon become one of the hottest political topics in Europe. TTIP has become a key political issue in many countries, with growing media interest feeding off public fear at the substantial dangers that the agreement will bring. That is why we updated our publication on TTIP by John Hilary.

The concerns detailed in the first edition of our booklet remain as valid today as when it was first published, given that the central design of TTIP itself remains unchanged.
